Chapter 595
The gods were cruel.
Sobbing uncontrollably, Joanna threw herself into Bruce’s arms and shook him. “Bruce, I’m begging you. Please
wake up.
“You can’t die. What will the children and I do if you die?
“Haven’t you always been insufferably arrogant and domineering? Get up. I’m willing to tolerate your insufferably
arrogant and domineering behavior. Please, wake up.”
Heartbroken. Joanna could not bring herself to face reality.
She desperately hoped Bruce would suddenly open his eyes and start arguing with her unreasonably, just as he did
before.
Unfortunately, she was met only with an icy silence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBruce’s face was as white as snow, and he looked asleep. His body temperature was also gradually falling by the
minute.
Joanna could only cry her heart out beside him.
Scenes of the past replayed in her mind.
Bruce would win every time they bickered or argued.
However, while his words were domineering, his gentleness and love for her always overflowed in his actions. Like a
child, his temper came and went quickly.
Joanna swore she would not bicker with Bruce again if he could wake up this time.
She just wanted him to be alive.
“Please…” Joanna’s heart-wrenching cries echoed throughout the operating room.
Joanna was filled with endless regret and grief.
If she had known this would happen to Bruce, she would not have lied to him about aborting their child.
“Bruce, don’t you want this baby very much?
“I’ll tell you a secret. I didn’t abort the baby. The baby is alright. Feel it if you don’t believe me.” Tears streamed
down Joanna’s face as she led Bruce’s hand and placed it on her abdomen.
“Didn’t you enjoy lying on my stomach and talking to the baby?
“Wake up
then. The baby can’t lose its father. Can you bear to see it grow up without a father?
“Bruce, didn’t you wish for a daughter? This baby must be a girl. Won’t you wake up and talk to your daughter?
“Wake up. Please wake up.”
Holding Bruce’s hand tightly and pressing it against her abdomen, Joanna tried to get Bruce to feel the baby in her
womb. Bruce had been on the verge of breaking down when Joanna had lied about getting an abortion. She could
hear how heartbroken and disappointed he had been from his voice then.
Recalling this, Joanna slapped herself in regret.

“He’s Bruce Everett
“The youngest and most powerful tycoon in Greyport!”
Joanna refused to believe that Bruce had died just like that.
She cried and cried. Suddenly, she looked up, crazed, and said to herself deceivingly, “Bruce, you aren’t dead, are
you? You must be pranking me, right? You must be joking.
“You’ve always been a prankster.
“Fine, you win. I was wrong. I’ll go home with you and never leave again.”
Unable to accept reality, Joanna kept making lies to deceive herself.
“Alright, stop fooling around. Let’s not joke around anymore.
Let’s go home. We won’t be separated again. We won’t bicker or fight anymore, alright?
“I’ve loved you since the beginning and still love you.”
Outside the operating room, Bruce’s butler and bodyguards ad the others couldn’t help but cry.
“Mr. Everett can’t be dead. That’s impossible. Doctors, please think of something else to save him!”
“Mr. Everett is so young. He just celebrated his 31st birthday. Why did something like this happen to him?“
“Our condolences.” Other than offering their condolences, the doctors were helpless.
